Loxodon

Deep in the jungles of the Wastaru (see upcoming post), paths wind to and from under the tall canopies. On the floor walk the loxodon single-file from destination to destination in their constant migration cycle.

The loxodon is like an elephant, except in the place of the enormous ears, the loxodon has small ears which are hidden by the enormous locks of hair that descend in dreads from upon their heads. They are not as large as their cousins, but usually travel in larger packs, making them more dangerous.

Massive herbivores of tropical lands, loxodon are unpredictable creatures that have never been tamed by humans.

Combat

Loxodons tend to charge single-file at threatening creatures, smashing into them one-by-one right after one-another. Think of smashing headlong into a locomotive.

Trample (Ex): Reflex half DC 25. The save DC is Strength-based.

Ettin Lands

At the southern end of the Cyrűk mountains, a strain of ettin have made their home for multiple generations. These two-faced creatures often end up meeting their fate when one of their brethren challenges them to a duel to the death over some misunderstanding.

The Ettin Lands are a series of three tall hills surrounded by the neighboring peaks. Within these borders, ettin law reign supreme, that of might makes right. This way of life has been passed down through ettin culture, a mismatch of orc, giant, and various other mythologies and beliefs. It seems they are continually confused, perhaps due to their multiple heads, which often do not agree. Ettin (especially from this isolated region) have been known to argue with their own heads, sometimes leading to the two halves of the body pummeling the other to the ground. What is strange is watching them go at it — the right head controls the left side of the body, and vice versa, so the opposing blows must cross one-another in order to contact the intended targets.

Occasionally an ettin will travel outside of these borders into lands inhabited by humans or others of their ilk, but they have largely stuck to this region because of the plentiful supply of large game to hunt. In the neighboring Ettal valley, the meat is much leaner and quicker, making for too challenging a hunt, a major deterrent to this lazy species.

Still, they have been known to hunt men for sport. That is, when they can get along long enough to keep organized.

Recently, the ettin have been haunted by their own zombies, who roam the mountainsides at night in search of brains… ettin technically have two per body, making them even tastier prey to these zombies.

Ettal Valley

Located in the heart of the Cyrűk Mountains, the Ettal Valley stretches east where the Ettal River joins the Swift River four miles northeast of Castle Stieglitz. Where the tributary meets the white water of the raging river, the thirty-year-old Harlsbridge provides across the span. A road heads east along the north edge of the river, paralleling the river on the floor of the valley for 12 miles, where the town of Garlston rests at the base of a cliff beneath Kloster Fint, home of about 20 monks who scribe tomes and work as vintners. A mountain stream falls over 400 feet from the steep wine fields down to the town, where it powers mills before joining the Ettal River. Garlsbridge crosses the Ettal and the road continues east on the south side of the river.

Over the mountains to the south of the Ettal Valley, lie the Ettin homelands. Their chants can be heard late at night in the valley. They can be occasionally encountered, but it is rare. Other encounters include natural creatures and others as per the random encounter chart for mountain valleys.

The relatively sparse humanoid traffic allows the natural creatures in the valley including wolves, foxes, and deer, to trive. The valley’s foliage is mostly conifers which cover the mountains up to the tree line a few hundred feet from their summits, though some deciduous trees (maple, oak, dogwood) grow in dense clusters along the river. Snow caps many of the mountains for much of the year.

Some Wyndm folk live in small communities in the trees halfway up the mountains on the north edge of the valley. With their natural lifestyle, they maintain a small ecological footprint.

Segaric Wandariks

Segaric grew up in the Kingdom of Vandor, working as a tradesman until joining the church in his mid-30s. When the kingdom disintegrated into the Ten Princedoms, he left his homeland and set off with the church’s blessing to find adventure and spread the word. After five years abroad in the neighboring nation-states, he honed his skills through a series of encounters with danger. However, in his travels, he developed a nasty habit of drinking himself to sleep, and often begins his days with a residual buzz from the night before. Now in his late 40s, his study of the domains of water and destruction drive his conscious thought, those few times he’s not intoxicated, though arguably the booze is the intersection of water and destruction, a sort of destructive water…
